The answer to this question is the same as it has been for years..."it depends on your usage of the computer". The 2.2 quad can be significantly faster IF you are running software that can take advantage of it. It is impossible for us to give our opinion on your upgrade options without knowing what your using the computer for.

i use it mostly for design work which includes photoshop and corel..
i also use final cut..

I want to make sure that my macbook i have now which is the macbook pro 2.66 i7 that i bought in december of 2010 will not be out of date in a year.

If this new thunderbolt is the technology of the future i think maybe i should sell my machine and buy the new macbook pro.

I want to have my computer for at least 3 years because it was very expensive for me to buy.
